Your Pregame report is brought to you by:

Well here we are in Flon Flon! It's a long and interesting trip but their is no other rink in the SJHL quite like the Whitney Forum, and I know the players are very excited to be playing here tonight. Everything about the Whitney Forum gives you chills, for one it's cold, but secondly the electricity from the crowd makes it a very intense atmosphere to play hockey in.

The Klippers are a bit banged up for tonight's contest. Taylor Duzan, Taylor Wasden, Ryan Elliot, and Aaron Letourneau will not suit up tonight for the Klippers. Duzan has an upper body injury he substantiated during Tuesdays game. Wasden left last game after getting sliced up by his own teammates skate. His wrist/forearm received 15 stitches and he will be sidelined for 7-10 days. As for Elliot, Duzan and Letourneau they are all day-to-day and should be back in the lineup shortly.

The Klippers are trying to find a more consistent and more balanced attack for this weekends games which has lead to Rockie Zinger shuffling the lines. Here's how they look for tonight's contest

Buckingham-Kissick-Bosovich
Rebkowich-Dworschawk-McGrath
Daniels-King-Mysiorek
Lund-Hoffman-McDonald

Haaf-Eaton
Manhas-Morin
Gedney-Blatz

McDonald

As for the Bombers they are a very young squad but will be a tough team to beat. Only having played one game on home ice so far this season you can bet they will be trying to impress the home town faithful. They certainly have some offensive firepower lead by Jay Young who is off to an explosive start. He is a big guy with a very solid shot and has racked up 8 points in 5 games so far this year. Guys like McCombie, Blair, Penner and Storzuk are also off to solid starts in the early going of the season.

Should be a good game, unfortunately I wont be broadcasting the contest due to the MLB playoffs. I will be doing live cut ins throughout the game and we will go live if the baseball game wraps up prior to the hockey game. For more on this read the post below.

The link to listen to live updates throughout the baseball game is posted below. As for the Flin Flon broadcast I do not believe they are broadcasting tonight's game. I think they are though for Saturday night. I do believe they are web casting tonight's game though if you want to watch but with no audio.
